    Short point: It was God that sent Jesus; but it was Wisdom that prepared Him (which way do you want to go?)

    Hi there! So a short point: it was God that sent Jesus; but it was Wisdom that prepared Him (selah) We need to think about how much time we have and what we are going to devote it to - too much honeycomb makes you sick (as Solomon said), but is the honeycomb a relationship to God or a...

    The false prophet is like untamed wind, the Devil confuses, but its the anti-christ that makes you feel weak (mad?)

    Hi there, So this is just a brief gripe about the anti-christ: he makes us feel weak. The Holy Spirit on the other hand, makes us feel strong. The false prophet, is like an untamed wind; he just clamours here and there - once you are out of the path of his moving around, there is very little...

    Ask God for dreams about a scripture - you won't believe how many dreams you have! (post them here!)

    Hi there! So this is just a short heads up, about how to get in agreement with the Holy Spirit, about dreams. The answer is really simple: ask for dreams about scripture. I know someone who asked for dreams about "letting your yes, be yes" and they had so many they couldn't remember them all -...

    Without Love, God is darkness (lost?)

    Hi there! So a simple thought: without Love, God is darkness. In other words, when people sin, they say "the darkness made me do it". What they mean is "I refused to let God be God to me, and did what I liked". The darkness then, protects God, since He cannot sin as God, but is absolved of His...

    Jesus will return as the smartest Man that ever lived (waiting?)

    Hi there, So we frequently hear about the return of Jesus, that He comes to rule the Earth (and its nations). There is scripture for this, which is fine (I couldn't tell you which scripture specifically). But there is another return, which doesn't get much attention because it is obscure. The...

    I feel a little uncertain, calling myself a 'newbie' - but I need help (and once upon a time, I *was* a newbie!)

    Hi there, So there is this dilemma I am in, about my relationship to God. I know relationship is important, but if its important, then how you define it is important too, right? So I have this understanding, in my head, that I have my side to the relationship I have with God, and God has His...

    We have to hang in there, with the Holy Spirit - our conviction now, will grow and as it grows, it will change (help?)

    Hi there, So I have conviction in the Holy Spirit, which is great. However, I am concerned that the message of the Holy Spirit not be lost, as we enter in to the tribulation. Jesus promised the Father would shorten the days, which is great. However, what we need is a stronger conviction. I...

    The Rapture is a conviction that the Holy Spirit, has overcome sin, evil and oppression - that imparts the Word of God within to do something similar

    Hi there, So I am just teasing out what the Rapture means. The idea in theology is that the Rapture is an event, that separates those that have it from those that don't. There is some truth to this. But what is actually happening? My understanding is that the Rapture is the birthing of a...

    "My strength is made perfect in weakness" but there are different kinds of weakness? (strong?)

    Hi there, So I am writing this for my own sake, if nothing else - I need to understand the Lord's strength. My understanding is that the Lord is strong, and there is no other. But He said "My Strength is made perfect in weakness", so there is a relationship to weakness that needs to be...

    The anti-christ brings together the power of all the other anti-christs; the false prophet scatters the power of the Holy Spirit (tested?)

    Hi there, I just felt directed to say something simple about the anti-christ. In Revelation it is clear that he is not alone, but is accompanied by other people like him. This is part of the reason he is so slippery to identify. The reality is there is nothing really different about the...

    God never calls something "finished", while people are still suffering (suffering much?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple lesson, that can make it easier to relate to God and the trials of this life. The lesson is this: God does not call something "finished" while people are still suffering. Now, this probably pricks your ears up, because Jesus said "it is finished" on the cross - my...

    Reading the parable of the Sower, as a parable about the Holy Spirit (open?)

    Hi there, So this might open up your thinking about the Holy Spirit: the parable of the Sower, can be interpreted as being about the Holy Spirit. We typically think that the Word of God can be about anything, that there are some who receive it and some who don't. But strictly speaking, the...

    Don't replace a plank, with a greater plank! (plank?)

    Hi there, So I just had this really simple thought and for my own sake if no-one else's, I thought would just meditate on it for a moment. The thought is this: Jesus said "don't try to take the speck out of your brother's eye, when look! A plank is in your own eye" (Gospels, from memory); now...

    Learning how the new body works (exercising?)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to share a simple thought: learning how the new body works, is a "thing". As a "thing" we can either do it well, or not. What governs how well we do it, is how well we develop in relation to our "new" faith, on Earth. If we neglect faith on Earth, how will we be...

    The Gospel will be quickened and re-scattered (eyes on the future?)

    Ok right, So this is a very simple observation about how the Gospel is able to be more expertly interpreted, more faithfully delivered. What I am hoping for here, is that you will open your mind up to the idea that there is a true way for the Gospel to be received, that differs for almost...

    Jesus had the Greatest Will to Live, of any one (One?)

    Hi there, So just to give you something, that will help you relate to Christ: Jesus was the One with the greatest will to live, compared to any Man. It was through this will to live, that He learned to heal and deliver. There was mastery in this, in the end, for He lived so effectively for God...

    Praise God, Israel was strong enough, for Christ to be revealed (you have strength too?)

    Hi there, I just wanted to point something very special: Jesus might never have come to Earth, if there was no nation on Earth strong enough for Him to be revealed in them. If Israel was weak and did not revere God in strength, there might have been no way for the Lord to come. This is not to...

    Three ways of listening: with the head, with the heart, and with the soul (time to spare?)

    Hi there, So I am just expanding on the idea that "to him who hears, more will be given" (from Mark, from memory). How do we make sure that we are listening as much as possible? The answer is in part, to meditate on how it is that we listen. There are three main types of listening: with the...

    "I really believe (that), they really believe it" - what is the sense of watching 'drama'? (emulating?)

    Hi there, So I have struggled for a long time, with the mystery of television. It has always seemed to me very strange, that people acting in a scene are thought to be doing it best, when they believe it themselves. It is a mystery is it not? Ought we not think 'oh! that's how they wanted to...

    "Put a *hole* in my flesh, Holy Spirit, and all that my corruption got me, in Jesus' Name Amen" (holding on to sin?)

    Hi there, So I want to pray by example here, that other people who struggle with the flesh might know the way out, that the Holy Spirit gave. I sinned. That's the short of it. But the problem became that I held on to my sin. My flesh was enlarged, by the pleasure and I ceased to know a way out...
